Summer Bummer

Posted by Exer on Thursday, July 1st, 2010

We’ve been having rain, rain and more rain the past couple weeks. Looks like it may be a typical wet Alaskan summer. Not that I should be all that bothered by it, since I’m not actually working outdoors at the moment. What do I really have to complain about, mowing the grass too often? I [...]

Alaska isn’t always a winter wonderland, covered in feet of snow. We are a green, green state, for a few amazing months of summer.

Puppy Tales

OK, well he isn’t exactly a puppy anymore, but that doesn’t stop me from calling him “pup” every now and again. Whenever my mom stops by to visit she calls him “grandpa”, but that’s just because she is evil and likes to pick on helpless animals. Yup. Anyway, here is my PUP out enjoying the [...]

Don’t Bug Me

This little lady decided to land on my brothers hand while we worked on his car in the driveway. She wasn’t in any hurry to fly away, so we grabbed a camera and decided to try out the macro lens.

If You Musk

Furry Fury

Posted by Exer on Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

I went for a walk today and noticed this little guy sitting in a tree chittering as he ate some acorns of some sort. We pretty much noticed each other at the same moment, so he got quiet probably hoping I hadn’t seen him. Well when I swung my camera up to take his picture, he started chirping and lashing his tail up and down — I’m not familiar with squirrel body language, but that didn’t look friendly at all!

I snapped a few photos and then continued on my way. He probably went home and bragged to his little lady about how he chased off the big, ugly, one-eyed giant.

I believe this cute little fellow is a Red Squirrel.
